That seems strange to me. Its not like the west cut of oil from Japan for no reason. Japan was fighting a war with China. They were not willing to give that up

Capitalists (as in profit seeking companies and people) seem to have very little to do with it. That is a political decision on the highest level.
- John23832 10y agoI guess. The way I viewed it Japan made a move to protect their markets. But you could be right.
- nickik 10y agoI guess they did it to protect their market and war machine. The question is where did the pressure to do so come from, was it from the political class or the business community.
- John23832 10y agoI agree, that is the question. In capitalistic societies, business and politics are often intertwined.
